About Our Mushrooms

The move toward eating better and living healthier will be made stronger by a new way of thinking about food called functional foods. These foods are backed by science and need to meet specific standards to be considered part of this group. This means that companies getting into this field need to work hard to make products that really work and can make people healthier.


ORGANICALLY GROWN MUSHROOMS AS NATURE INTENDED

  1. Every crop of mushrooms starts with selected strains, cultivars that have been developed over the course of centuries. Hundreds of mushroom research institutes are engaged in continual research and development on high yielding strains of the highest medicinal quality.
  2. Specially selected natural materials such as protein enriched sawdust and hardwood logs are used as the food base for the mushrooms. These natural substrates contain precursors that guarantee the production of important medicinal compounds.
  3. Mushroom crops are produced in greenhouses and shade-houses.
  4. A constant flow of fresh air and fresh water from deep wells is provided to the mushrooms.
  5. Natural sunlight provides the stimulus for proper mushroom formation.
  6. The mushrooms are harvested by hand and sun-dried or air dried in a dehydrator.
  7. After harvest and before processing, every crop of mushrooms is tested for possible chemical drift or other contamination.

EXTRACTION AND PROCESSING

  1. We utilize GMP certified factories that only process mushrooms.
  2. All water used in cleaning and processing is purified with an ultra filtration system.
  3. Every step of the extraction process is monitored closely according to established SOP’s (Standard Operation Procedures).
  4. The extract product is dried and packed in ultra clean room environments.

TESTING PRIOR TO SALE

All testing is done by qualified 3rd party labs.

  1. Complete microbial testing for bacteria, yeast and mold, e. coli, and coliforms
  2. Heavy metals analysis.
  3. Pesticide testing that exceeds USP standards.
  4. Beta-glucan testing to insure presence of active compounds.
  5. Ergosterol testing to insure fungal purity.
  6. Alpha-glucan testing to guard against adulterants and carriers.
  7. Reishi extracts are analyzed for triterpenoids. Cordyceps is analyzed for cordycepin.
  8. Final organoleptic evaluation.

No mycelium, no grain, no starch.

We grow genuine mushrooms, naturally, the way nature intended.
